Need Info on Byron YF16
Hello, All.
I am not sure if I am posting this in the correct forum, as this aircraft is a Nitro DF Aircraft, but I thought it would be a good start!
I am the proud owner of a Byron YF16 ducted fan aircraft with a Rossi 61 nitro engine. the OAL is approx 75 inches, with a 48 inch ws. the plane does not have a fuel tank, it looks as if the Tank was in the nose of the plane, and was of an oval shape. it seems to me that if the tank is in the nose, the CG would be way too variable during the flight, as the fuel is used, going from nose heavy to tail heavy, as the flight progresses!
also, there is a thin plastic sheet rolled into a Tube, that is behind the engine, I am guessing that it's a Thrust tube?? what is this made of, and how is it installed, is it zip tied to the rear of the Ducted Fan unit?
Lastly, (for now, at least!), where is the CG located on this model??
If anyone has diagrams, Manuals, Etc for this model, I would love to pick your brain for the proper set up of this model!
Thanks in advance, for any help you might be able to provide!
Craig!
